Answer:


r = \pm\sqrt{(A)/(4 \pi)}

Explanation:

Given:

The given equation is
A = 4 \pi r^(2)

We need to solve the given equation for r.

Rewrite the equation as.


4 \pi r^(2)=A

Divide both side of the equation by 4π and simplify


(4 \pi r^(2))/(4 \pi)=(A)/(4 \pi)


r^(2)=(A)/(4 \pi)

Take the square root both side of the equation.


\sqrt{r^(2) } = \sqrt{(A)/(4 \pi)}


r = \pm\sqrt{(A)/(4 \pi)}

Therefore, the solution for r is both positive or negative
r = \pm\sqrt{(A)/(4 \pi)}
